Victor Osimhen: Turkish champions offer record-breaking deal to beat Chelsea, Arsenal & Man Utd
Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to break the bank to secure Victor Osimhen on a permanent deal, following the Nigerian striker’s sensational form in Turkey, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 26-year-old Super Eagles forward joined the Turkish champions on loan from Napoli after a proposed move to Chelsea collapsed during the summer.
But since arriving in Istanbul, Osimhen has exceeded all expectations—netting 28 goals and providing five assists in just 32 appearances across all competitions.
Victor Osimhen favours a move to Juventus or a Premier League club this summer.

The former Lille star’s electric performances have made him a fan favourite and a key figure in Galatasaray’s bid to retain the Turkish Super Lig title and win the domestic cup.
Now, the club’s top brass are determined to keep him in Istanbul beyond the summer window.
However, the task ahead is monumental.
Europe’s elite — including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea — are closely monitoring the striker’s situation, with all five clubs keen to sign him.
According to Spanish outlet AS as per Cumhuriyet, Galatasaray are preparing what would be the most expensive transfer in the club’s history to retain the Nigerian international.
